Reading Regional Airport (IATA: RDG, ICAO: KRDG), also known as Carl A. Spaatz Field, is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of Reading, a city in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. The airport has two runways, and is used primarily for general aviation.

RDG has not had commercial service since US Airways Express carrier Air Midwest ended service on 3 September 2004. The airport had suffered from its proximity to the much larger Philadelphia International Airport. There were rumors that Northwest Airlines would start service to RDG, much as it had at Latrobe, but this appears unlikely due to Northwest's recent bankruptcy filing. However Southwest Airlines does have Orlando Charters provided by Boscov's Travel using Boeing 737s. Many charter services are based in Reading.
